Please join us commemorate Palestinian Prisoners Day, on Sunday 17th April, to show solidarity with the 7000+ Palestinian prisoners, some as young as 12 years old, that have been abducted from their families by an illegal invading army of occupation, and caged in the most horrendous conditions, being brutally tortured to systematically extract false confessions to sustain a 99.7% conviction rate in Israel's military kangaroo courts.

Join us demand freedom for the prisoners and demand the guilty companies who help Israel run its dungeons and torture dens - G4S and Hewlett Packard - be indicted to the International Criminal Court at the Hague for war crimes.

Join us under the Hungerford / Golden Jubilee Bridges on the Southbank (between London Eye and Southbank Centre) at 3pm - look out for Palestinian flags. Its just a short walk from Waterloo station or across the river from Embankment tube station. We will have an information stall, live music, speeches, leaflets to give out.. a day for the whole family to join in.

The Palestinian Prisoners Campaign aims to raise awareness for the plight of Palestinian prisoners and build solidarity for their struggle and work towards their freedom. The campaign was launched by Innovative Minds (inminds.com) and the Islamic Human Rights Commission (ihrc.org) on the occasion of Al Quds Day 2012 (on 17th August 2012), since then we have held actions every fortnight in support of Palestinian prisoners, if you can spare two hours twice a month then please join the campaign by coming to the next action.

"1763 in the Ohio river valley you got Lord Jeffrey Amherst committing to written order an instruction to his subordinate Henry Bouquet, having been defeated by Pontiac Ottawa confederacy in the field. The order essentially says that they have been defeated militarily and is therefore necessary for Amherst forces to request a peace, to sue for peace from Pontiacs people. He instructs Bouquet to convene a parlay with the Indian leadership for that purpose. And as is the custom, as is common courtesy among native populations as was known to the Brits at that time, it would be necessary for those who requested the council to give gifts to those requested to attend. Make those gifts, Amherst says, items taken from a smallpox infirmary in order, I'm going to quote directly now, this isn't a paraphrase: 'in order that we may extirpate this execrable race'. Now key is on this last word, had he said that we might eradicate the opposing combatants, their military capacity, their warriors.. what ever term he wanted to use, it would have been biological warefare. But he didn't say anything about that, he said the 'race'. His intent was to use biological means, to use disease, quite explicitly so, to eradicate an entire population group. And Bouquet was also kind enough to commit to writing in his response the next day, I have done as instructed, dispersing three blankets, two handkerchiefs and sundry other items, hopefully, he says, they will have the desired result. They did.. the lowest estimate of the number of people who died of smallpox as a result of that little gesture of friendship and goodwill is a 100,000!"
